So grateful to @aplusfcu for their very generous donation to provide lunch for all attendees at the @LitLove_LISD Symposium.
That’s right, lunch is included with your registration!
Can’t wait to see you all on June 7!

@gracesimmonns I knew a girl once who used the tax/registration papers from the car and that was an interesting thing to see at renewal time at the tax office.

@LISDLaceyD @DanaNathanson @allisonbrown_ap @DCEgreatnesswi1 It was a great day to be with teachers at Deer Creek!

I was privileged to be the word pronouncer at the @JimPlain Spelling Bee today. I was so impressed by the perseverance, poise, and spelling knowledge of all spellers. They did a beautiful job of representing their campus. #jpepride #1LISD

The @cnslisd team at Glenn is amazing!! I barely made it through one day serving lunch and they do it every single day!
Also, students at GHS are awesome - so many “thank-yous” and compliments and smiles as we dished up heaping plates of turkey and dressing 😁

I think one of the most important things we can say right now is “Feel free to share anything else…”
Say it to each other.
Say it to our students.
Say it to your family.
And then listen with your ❤️

“A fish out of water.”

I had students share a reflection after the latest Unit Test. This one will sit with me for too long.

@gracesimmonns To quote Danny DeVito in Jumanji, “Growing old is a gift.”

[Deborah Simmons @DebSimmonsLISD]

@gracesimmonns Lots of good things headed your way too ❤️

[Deborah Simmons @DebSimmonsLISD]

Don’t miss out on all the fun!
K-3 teachers (and anyone who serves those students) should be signing up for the Texas Reading Academy. Emails went out out, contact @TurnerKaren @DebSimmonsLISD @beth_ecd for all questions.

My 13 yo girl and I are mesmerized by @K8theChemist doing experiments at #tcea2021
Thank you Dr Kate for your inspiration!
And thank you #tcea for a virtual conference so my daughter could have this opportunity!

@ShakeUpLearning talking about online learning in a post-Covid world - can we take it further than uploading a worksheet?

Surprise Mrs. Crisp!
@Crispeone did not expect to see us in the hallway @JimPlain! #jpepride #happyretirement

[Deborah Simmons @DebSimmonsLISD]

Gave @Crispeone a socially-distanced LOUD send off today. Best wishes to you and enjoy your retirement from all of your @JimPlain family!

Took some time to watch @ColinESeale session recorded at #LISDCIC and I am LOVING this:
👏🏻 Academic 👏🏻
👏🏻 Vocabulary 👏🏻
Vocabulary is power!
Goes well with Desmond Tutu quote:
“Don’t raise your voice, improve your argument”

[Bruce Gearing @BruceLISD]

“Wouldn’t athletics be terrible if it weren’t for meritocracy? Let’s go Team...1-2-3-Tie” But what about meritocracy in our classrooms? Do we want to create winners and losers? Where is the equity in that? Anthony Muhammad, PhD @newfrontier21 @LeanderISD #LISDCIC #1LISD

[Deborah Simmons @DebSimmonsLISD]

Public school:
Access.
Equity.
